Remembering the Pentonville Five, 50 years on


The Pentonville Five were five shop stewards who were imprisoned in July 1972 by the National Industrial Relations Court for refusing to obey a court order to stop picketing a container depot in East London. Their arrest and imprisonment was a huge event, which captured the headlines and eventually led to the TUC calling a general strike.
Various events will be taking place to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the dispute this summer. Please look out for more details (including the Arise Festival event below)
Watch this short video, remembering the Pentonville Five, and celebrating their struggle below.
